Hello! I'm Khristen, a birth & postpartum doula & am currently training in lactation, loss & bereavement + more. I am a Mama of 6 earth side babies & an angel baby. I am passionate about supporting Mama's during their pregnancy, birth & postpartum journey as well as educating & supporting her partner & helping to include other siblings. I'd love to talk & find out if we'd be a good team!

Recent review

This will probably be my most favorite review that I’ll ever write. Where do I even begin? It was rather serendipitous how Khristen and I met; She had contacted me to groom her dog Moki, and we automatically clicked. Right away when you meet Khristen you’re just like “YES!” Her spirit is infectious and you sense a genuine soul right away. When she told me how passionate she was about her field I felt it was meant to be since I had been praying for a Dula! For my husband and I, choosing Khristen as our Dula was the single best choice we could have made for our family. Almost a year later and I am still stumbling over her kindness, hand written cards and diaper rash creams galore! She is just the best. She was passionate about her vocation right away and her consistency throughout was just so refreshing especially considering her role was and is so vital. Being a first time mom I didn’t know what to expect when trying to deliver but I was automatically put at ease with how much knowledge Khristen had acquired and her endless experiences with being a mother herself in general gave us so much peace. When our desired plans changed and we found ourselves looking at a C-Section still Khristen was still on top of her game. Giving us pamphlets on anything we could think of and constantly going above and beyond to help with additional concerns and questions had throughout the remainder of the pregnancy Khristen never stopped diligently answering and seeking resolution. Not only was Khirsten so wonderful during pregnancy but she was also just as attentive and crucial postpartum. She helped us endlessly with laundry and cleaning, to food and delivery, she really just served as such a foundational piece to complete our what should have been stressful newborn journey and facilitated it like the super hero pregnancy personal assistant of our dreams. We really can’t stress enough how grateful we are to have had Khristen as a coach and support system during such an important time in our lives. She’s just one of a kind, beautiful hearted, genuine and irreplaceable. Thank you so much for everything, Khristen! We love you so much! 🩷🩷🩷

Hi! We're Savanah and Sheryl, the Neighborhood Midwives. We've been working together in the birth world for the past four years and recently chose to focus exclusively on home birth. This shift allows us to slow down, be more present with the families we serve, and find a better balance in our own lives too. We believe true health starts from within. Our approach blends lifestyle support, movement, and herbal medicine—while also embracing modern medicine when it’s needed. If you're hoping for a calm, familiar, and intimate experience during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, we’d love to connect and answer any questions you have.

Recent review

I had Savanah and Sheryl as my midwives for my first birth - I approached my pregnancy and delivery in a holistic way and they were both so helpful, their bedside manner was truly exceptional and so thoughtful every appointment, and most of all - they were truly THERE for me during my delivery. It was a long labor and they brought me such a sense of peace every time they walked in the room. They both had a way of meeting me where I was at with every question and emotion that came up. I always felt respected and genuinely cared for with both of them - never as an inconvenience, they never made me feel small with my questions or lack of experience. They gave me great lactation support and resources for breastfeeding as well, which was HUGE for me. I can’t wait to work with them again in the future.

I’m Whitney, a mother, doula, and the big sister who shows up with steady hands, a soft voice, and deep belief in you. My work is gentle and intentional—holding space, offering guidance, and helping your birth vision unfold with clarity and confidence. I’m here to massage tired feet, melt tension with counter pressure, and bring comfort from my Mary Poppins bag of tools. I support you and your partner as you move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with intuition, trust, and the reminder that you don’t have to walk this path alone. Birth is sacred. Support should feel like sisterhood.

Recent review

Working with Whitney as our doula was one of the greatest decisions we made for our birth. She was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, she jumped into action and had an amazing ability to read the room and know exactly what was needed all while maintaining a calm presence. One of our biggest hopes in hiring a doula was for my husband to feed confident and supported during labor, and Whitney exceeded every expectation. During our pre-labor visits, she walked us through our birth plan, answered all of our questions, and taught us strategies and techniques for pain management. Throughout the weeks leading up to birth, she stayed in close contact, checking in over text and offering reassurance whenever we needed it. When I was induced, Whitney was the first one at the hospital. My labor involved more interventions than I had hoped for, and she helped me understand each one, talk through my options, and know what questions to ask the midwives. Through every contraction, she was right there providing counter pressure and steady emotional support. Even though my birth took unexpected turns and didn’t follow my original plan, Whitney helped make it a magical, empowering and truly beautiful experience. I would recommend her to absolutely any and everyone. Whitney is a gift, and we are so grateful she was a part of our story.

My name is Vanessa and I’m a mother of 2 . I have worked with new mothers & newborns for over 14 years mainly in a hospital setting, then transitioned from working in the postpartum department to becoming a postpartum doula in 2022. I truly have a passion for serving and helping others. I believe the postpartum / 4th trimester stage is a crucial one that should be focused on healing, resting, bonding, nourishing, and fully embracing & enjoying those first precious moments with your new bundle of joy. My mission is to support & nurture new mothers so they can feel a weight lifted off as they savor this challenging, but rewarding time with their newborn and family.

Hello! My name is Haley, and I am a certified full-spectrum birthworker. I am passionate about supporting all birthing bodies and holding space for life’s big moments. I love being a steady presence and firm advocate for people throughout their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experiences. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I also focus on providing inclusive care for people of all sexes, gender identities, relationship models, races, and beliefs.   I have always had an interest in the birth world, but for the first 20 years of my life, I was dedicated to pursuing my love for dance. I moved to Salt Lake City from Akron, Ohio in 2018 to get my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Ballet from the University of Utah. While I was studying for my degree, I started reading everything I could find about becoming a birthworker. My interest turned into an obsession and after dancing professionally for a year post-grad, I felt ready to take a break from dance and pursue birth work full time!    As your birth support, I lean on my intuition and learned skills to guide me. Entering your space with a regulated nervous system allows me to tap into that intuition and support you to the best of my abilities. I believe that birth is one of the most transformative life experiences and I love helping people prepare for it!   As your postpartum support, I meet you where you are and embrace the unknown with you. The postpartum journey looks different for everyone, and each day comes with new challenges and joys. I feel honored every time I am able to support a new family and watch them thrive during this vulnerable, beautiful time.    When I’m not geeking out about placentas and newborn reflexes, you can find me camping in the Uintas, doing yoga in my living room, hiking, snowboarding, dancing, singing bad karaoke at local dive bars, and spending time with my husband and our two cats.

Passion for helping others has been ingrained in me for as long as I can recall. Creating a secure space where individuals can embrace vulnerability and find unwavering support is a facet of my character that brings me immense pride. No one should feel alone; it has always been my inclination to extend beyond expectations, offering a comforting presence to loved ones and patients navigating moments of solitude and unease during transitions in hospitals. To me, being your Doula is not just providing you counter pressure and support. It’s about creating that positive birth space for you, where you can completely surrender and lay trust into your surroundings! Where you can be fully present with yourself and your baby as they transition from being a part of you on the inside and into one of their own in your arms on the outside. This is your story that I, as your doula, am honored to be a part of. You are in control of your birth space and who is in it! For each of my birth clients, I craft personally written affirmation cards and offer assistance in materializing your dream birth space. Post-birth, as the fourth trimester unfolds, I step into a role of unique support. This chapter, where families acquaint themselves with quirks and routines, is as distinctive as each individual. As a postpartum doula, I provide physical and mental support—whether it’s lactation guidance, rest, household chores, meal prepping, or engaging in profound conversations about life. In moments of exhaustion and when things seem askew, always remember: You are enough! Beyond my doula work, I engage with clients through informative calls, providing education on a spectrum of topics ranging from childbirth and parenting to Montessori principles. When I’m not immersed in these enlightening conversations, my off-hours are a dynamic blend of creativity and rejuvenation. To stay grounded and invigorated, I venture outdoors, whether it’s through the exhilarating experience of cold plunging or the serenity of a hike in nature.

Madison was crucial in my positive postpartum experience. As our postpartum doula, she helped me, a first time mom, navigate the new realm of caring for my exhausted body while learning about and caring for my newborn. I couldn’t imagine anyone else in my little bubble with me. She had so much expertise and really had a way with my baby. She encouraged confidence in me and allowed for much needed rest whenever I needed it. I can’t recommend her enough. I’d hire her over and over again.

Hi! I'm Morgan, I'm a newer birth doula who's committed to helping you have the most positive birth experience you could possibly have! I'm passionate about helping you advocate for yourself and being someone you can truly lean on and trust in such a chaotic but beautiful moment of your life. I'm someone to consider particularly if you have trouble speaking up for yourself with medical professionals, or maybe a difficult family member who's overstepping boundaries and you would like help. I also am LGBTQ+ friendly and affirming.

Recent review

I wish I could give Morgan 10 stars. She was amazing throughout my entire experience. She helped me through my 33 hours of mostly unmedicated labor by providing foot and head massages, hip pressure, back rubs, and so much more. She also made sure the hospital staff were aware of my birth plan and advocated for me and helped me decide what was right when they suggested we deviate from it. She made labor and delivery so much better than it would have been that I will never have another baby without her.

Hi, I’m Madi!🌵💕 My first birth experience was both empowering and deeply challenging, and it’s what led me to this work. I love helping moms and partners work through their fears surrounding birth so they can feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way! When I’m not at a birth, you’ll find me camping, playing card games with my family, watching movies, or soaking in a bath while reading a good book!

My journey to becoming a postpartum doula began in 2022, when I became a mother myself. During my pregnancy, I dove deep into everything I could learn about birth and parenting, and I quickly fell in love with the beauty and power of the whole process. But when my daughter was born, I realized there was a gap in the education and support available for new mothers, especially when it comes to the postpartum experience. I found that many mothers, myself included, were left to navigate this crucial time without the guidance and support they truly needed. It was in this moment of realization that I knew I wanted to support other women in their postpartum journeys, helping them feel informed, nurtured, and cared for as they adjusted to life with a new baby. In late 2024, I found a postpartum doula training led by an incredible midwife, and I knew this was the path I was meant to take. As a follower of Jesus, my faith is central to everything I do, and I strive to serve others with love and compassion. When I’m not supporting families, you can find me baking, spending time with my own family, and dreaming of a homesteading life. I’m excited to be part of your postpartum journey and offer the care and support you need during this transformative and sacred time.

I am a grateful wife and mother of seven children who helped introduce me to the world of giving birth. I have born them all naturally, some in the hospital and later in the homebirth setting. I have been a Nurse for over 40 years and have worked in the hospital in Labor & Delivery, Newborn Nursery and Postpartum care. I have also followed 'out-of-hospital' midwives since I was 25 years old. Recently I became a Certified Professional Midwife who specializes in out-of-hospital (OOH) birthing. We opened My Family Birth Center in Ogden, Utah to give women the opportunity to birth in their own way. We are the largest Birth Center in Utah and Nationally Accredited with the Commission of Accrediting Birth Centers (CABC). We are within 3 blocks of a Ogden Regional Medical Center. We've been open for 4 1/2 years and have helped over 250 couples. I believe in natural birth and know that it has helped many women to experience a quiet, normal, positive birth experience. In my spare time I enjoy bike riding, snowboarding and being with family.

Hi, I'm Dez Weyburn. I have a decade of doula experience and have been able to support so many kinds of births. I love working with families who want to take charge of their own birth experience, however that looks to them. In the past year, I've sort of accidentally found a niche at supporting high risk births, so I'm well versed in how most of the local hospitals deal with labor complications. Beyond that, I'm well informed about supporting physiological births. As a doula and massage therapist, I often incorporate touch in prenatal meetings, the labor and birth, and our postpartum check-in.

Recent review

Dez was an outstanding doula and she was the perfect advocate and support person my husband and I needed for my VBA2C (vaginal birth after 2 cesareans). I knew from the moment I met Dez that I was comfortable with her laid back personality and her passion for her work as a doula, as well as her love for continuous education on everything pregnancy, birth and postpartum which is so important to me as a nurse, myself! I highly recommend Dez for anyone hoping to have an amazing doula attend their birth and help them ante & postpartum.

My name is Calli Fresh (coolest last name ever right??). I have two dogs and a wonderful husband, hopefully a few kids soon! I enjoy the outdoors and cooking. I have a passion for the arts and dabble in many different types. I am also a bit of a crazy plant lady! I started my way in healthcare as a CNA working with the geriatric population for 7 years before moving on to doing more of the management side of healthcare. While I had a passion for my job and the elderly population, it just didn’t feel like my true calling. I one day found my true calling: Doula work! I was ready to delve into the world of childbirth and babies! I felt like I was being called to work with women, be a support for them and help them through the most challenging and beautiful time in a womans life. I want to help women have the best birth experiences they could, but I also want to extend that care past childbirth and into the postpartum period as well. I want to help women recover and heal from such an incredible experience and help them shift from one chapter of life to the next as seamlessly as I could. I hope to get to know you if you feel called to bring me into your team for childbirth! Please reach out to book a consultation to see if we could be a great match together!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Angela as our doula. She helped me to work through some trauma that I had experienced in a previous birth, and helped me overcome some fears and concerns that I had surrounding birth. She has a very calm, soothing presence. I was super impressed with how well she was able to provide birth support and take excellent photos at the same time. I will always treasure the photos she took of my son's birth.

Hey there! I’m Holly and I’m a registered nurse and lactation consultant in Northern Utah. I work with the Breezy Babies team of amazing lactation consultants doing in home visits in a 30-mile radius from Kaysville and telehealth visits in every state. I’m able to bill many insurances, so most of my clients receive free visits! I teach a prenatal breastfeeding class once a month and host a breastfeeding support group twice a month, both of these are in Kaysville. Helping families is my passion! I specialize in bottle refusal, oral restriction assessments, efficient pumping, and providing inclusive, nonjudgemental care.

Recent review

After a not so great experience with a lactation nurse at the hospital, I was very hesitant on having someone come into my home. I am so glad I did! Working with Holly has been such a wonderful experience. Her knowledge and support could not have come at a better time for me and my baby. Her positive energy and kind words were just what I needed in such an emotional and vulnerable stage of motherhood. I cannot express the gratitude and love I have for Holly and the wonderful work she does!

I'm Jessica - a midwife, doula, mother, witness and space-holder passionate about caring for women and families throughout the adventure of pregnancy and birth. I feel that the name “Birth-Keeper” is more suited to the type of midwifery I strive to practice, as I strongly believe that babies are born how they are conceived: in peace, safety, and comfort. I focus on ‘keeping’ that safe space for you to deepen your awareness of the birthing process, and offer the information you need to make empowered choices throughout your care. My role as a midwife is to witness you, to exalt you, to comfort you, to support you, to revere you, to love you, and to uplift you in your own power. This is your body, your baby, your birth, your choice
